Variation and change in Spanish

Author:	Ralph J Penny
Publisher:	Cambridge, UK ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2000.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"This book applies recent theoretical insights to trace the development of Castilian and Latin American Spanish from the Middle Ages onwards, through processes of repeated dialect mixing both within the Iberian Peninsula and in the New World. The author contends that it was this frequent mixing which caused Castilian to evolve more rapidly than other varieties of Hispano-Romance, and which rendered Spanish particularly subject to levelling of its linguistic irregularities and to simplification of its structures. These two processes continued as the language extended into and across the Americas." "These processes are viewed in the context not only of the Hispano-Romance continuum (which includes Galician, Portuguese and Catalan), but also of the New World varieties of Spanish. The book emphasizes the subtlety and seamlessness of language variation, both geographical and social, and the impossibility of defining strict boundaries between varieties. Its conclusions will be relevant both to Hispanists and to historical sociolinguists more generally."--Jacket.  Read more...
